Well, I’d like to fix up for somebody, and it might as well be File.
So, if you wanna ask him, Pop, fine you go ahead you just ask him!
[H.C., NOAH & JIM, spoken over one another]
Woohoo! Yippeee! C'mon, boys, let's go now! File, here we come!

[LIZZIE]
I have so many things I want to do for you
I have so many things saved up to say
I have so many longings that belong to you
So, love, don't turn away

I have so many songs I want to sing to you
I have so many smiles that I could cry
I have so many kisses I could bring to you
So, love, don't pass me by

I can't offer you lots of fancy things
To make you come and stay
But I could be beside you every night
And sing you lots of sweet songs everyday

So, love, if you're lookin' for a quiet place
I've a heart that's absolutely free!
Open arms that are achin' for their first embrace
So, love, discover me
Love, don't pass me by
Love, don’t turn away
